Benefits of NeoLoad vs. non-commercial software

Intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI)

  • Get started quickly using our web stress tools with the help of user-friendly panels and wizards; no scripting language to learn.
  • Create automatic web site performance testing scenarios using a simple web browser to record the pages you want to replay.
  • Build virtual users by simply dragging and dropping recorded pages into user profiles.
  • Identify web performance issues at a glance : key web performance statistics and hot spots are displayed in a single comprehensive Results Summary.
  • Create graphs from web site performance testing statistics and track down key issues raised in the Results Summary. NeoLoad's web application load test reports help you pinpoint the exact cause of problems.

Advanced features

  • Like NeoLoad most web site performance testing tools simulate real users. NeoLoad includes additional features, rarely available in this price range, such as Link Finder, Variable Extractor and IP Spoofing. A web performance test scenario cannot be fully validated without these features.
  • Define multiple user profiles with different bandwidth limits, Web Site Performance Testing reports and statistics for each profile complete a realistic user simulation.
  • Advanced recorder and scenario design for SSL-secured applications and change server : you may record web performance testing scenarios with ‘one click’ testing.
  • NeoLoad’s distributed architecture allows high load generation, whereby the desired load is distributed between all available Load Generators, all managed via The Controller.
  • Real time web application load test reports display hits per second, average response times, errors, CPU status, etc. during load testing.
  • Monitor Windows servers (Web server, Database server, ...) during the web site performance testing and plot graphs for server performance (CPU, Memory, IO ...) from test results. Web load testing windows monitoring include specific counters for Microsoft IIS and SQL Server to help track bottlenecks.
  • Compare consecutive web stress software results to monitor progress.
  • To optimize error analysis, NeoLoad displays each request sent to the server and the corresponding server response. This makes it easy to match an error to its corresponding request.
